, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to the use, for the preparation of drugs to increase the survival rate of transplant patients, including renal and heart transplant patients, of a therapeutically effective amount of an angiotension II receptor antagonist compound, such as the class of substituted imidazoles represented by formula (I) and in particular by losartan potassium, 2-butyl-4-chloro-[(2′-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-il]methyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)imidazole potassium salt.
Treatment of atherosclerosis with angiotensin II receptor blocking imidazoles
-
, (2008/06/13)
A method of treatment for atherosclerosis and/or reducing cholesterol using an angiotensin II antagonist. This method of treatment can be used in conjunction with the treatment of hypertension. Substituted imidazoles such as STR1 are useful as angiotensin II receptor antagonists for this method of treatment. A method of treatment for atherosclerosis and/or reducing cholesterol using an angiotensin II receptor antagonist in combination with an HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor. A method of treatment for atherosclerosis and/or reducing cholesterol using an angiotensin II receptor antagonist in combination with an HMG-Co A reductase inhibitor and an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Also within the scope of this invention are pharmaceutical compositions for this method of use.

A new series of nonpeptide angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonists has been prepared.These N-(biphenylylmethyl)imidazoles, e.g. 2-butyl-1--4-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)imidazole, differ from the previously reported N-(benzamidobenzyl)imidazoles and related compounds in that they produce a potent antihypertensive effect upon oral administration; the earlier series generally were active only when administered intravenously.It has been found that the acidic group at the 2'-position of the biphenyl is essential.Only ortho-substituted acids possess both high affinity for the AII receptor and good oral antihypertensive potency.The carboxylic acid group has been replaced with a variety of acidic isosteres, and the tetrazole ring has been found to be the most effective.The tetrazole derivative, DuP 753, is currently in development for the treatment of hypertension.
